Estimate
...magnificent. Dramatic and explosive, the Saunders captures all the intensity that is typical of this hillside Oakville site. Blackberry jam, leather, mocha, new leather and a whole range of mineral inflections build into the towering finish. What a wine!
Lots of blueberries, cassis, candied violets, and chocolate notes...exotic, full-bodied beauty has a deep, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a terrific sense of elegance paired with power.
...notes of black raspberries, Morello cherries and blackcurrant cordial with hints of menthol, unsmoked cigars and fallen leaves. Full-bodied, with a firm, grainy texture, it has bright freshness lifting the red and black fruit layers to a good long finish.
